Committee reports strong community response to clothing drive, requests toiletries for shelter packs
Summary
The Chair said residents dropped off roughly 20 sweatshirts and other clothing for emergency shelter use; the committee asked for a short newsletter blurb listing preferred toiletries (soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, samples) to guide future donations.
Chair reported a positive community response to calls for shelter clothing: "we had 20, some sweatshirts dropped off... and 15 plus wet pants and a bunch of leggings dropped off." She said the items are sorted and in tubs at City Hall while the committee seeks a better permanent storage location.
Members recommended a short newsletter blurb listing preferred items and asked for volunteers to continue collecting. The Chair proposed including toiletries such as soap, toothpaste, unused toothbrushes and small shampoo/soap samples and said the committee can supplement donations with purchases if needed.
